DIRTY SOUTHERN RITUALS, DSR for short, is 5-piece band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The members of DSR had all been playing in various other bands before they decided to join their considerable individual talents some time in 2010. After a few practice sessions and time out to write original songs, lead vocalist Brent J., guitarist Ben P., guitar and saxophone player Greg R., drummer Ben G., and the only Taiwanese member, bassist Hsiao Pang, were finally ready to hit the local music scene and played their first show in Oct. 2010. The show was a success, and the band has become a local favorite since then. DSR continues to play shows at music venues, pubs, and nightclubs in and around this southern Taiwanese metropolis in their quest to create quality tunes and a good time for all.
